Startled and assuming he was being mugged,
the teenager leapt in fright before being tackled
to the ground - laying helpless as the officer pointed
a Taser at him, shouting and threatening to deploy it.

So you think the officer was just hiding in the bushes waiting for a young 13 year old boy riding a bike to jump out on....or do you think the officer may have had a description of someone on a bike having committed a crime and possibly armed...
Of course it’s unfortunate for the young boy as he was innocent but the police have a tough job, particularly in London.
